Marty Braun's latest poster for Maine’s Portland Stage Company promotes "The Santaland Diaries," written by David Sedaris. The show is a cynical and wickedly funny account of Sedaris’ experience as a Christmas elf at Macy's Santaland in New York; his character, Crumpet, is definitely NOT jolly.

"I like the challenge of the theater poster: grab people's attention, give them a feel for the play and a hint of the story, but don't give anything away. Make them want to come see it,” says Marty. “And it's great to see my work all over town."
